AbstractAntenatal risk factors in combination with symphysis-fundus distance can identify pregnancies with small infants, who can be divided in genetically small, malformed, and malnourished infants. Only the last category benefit from fetal surveillance. Maternal diseases, pregnancy complications (hypertension), and environmental factors (smoking) are connected to malnourished small infants.

The reasons why cardiologists should consider prematurity at birth and intrauterine growth retardation among risk factors

High Level

The pregnancy complications and perinatal outcomes in 12 patients with confined placental mosaicism (CPM) were studied. Among them abnormal high level of MShCG (2MoM) was noticed in five patients. Increased resistance in the uterine artery was found at 20 and 36 weeks of pregnancy in women with CPM. Stillbirth was registered in 1/3 of cases; intrauterine growth retardation was detected in j of patients. Morphological signs of the placental insufficiency and villi immaturity were detected in all placentas. Our data reflect a possible negative influence of CPM to the pregnancy outcomes.
